Given an equilateral triangle $\mathrm{T} 1$ with side $24 \mathrm{~cm}$, a second triangle $\mathrm{T} 2$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 1$. Then a third triangle $\mathrm{T} 3$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 2$. If this process of forming triangles is continued, the sum of the areas, in sq cm , of infinitely many such triangles $\mathrm{T} 1, \mathrm{~T} 2, \mathrm{~T} 3, \ldots$ will be

Let $A B C$ be a right-angled triangle with $B C$ as the hypotenuse. Lengths of $A B$ and AC are $15 \mathrm{~km}$ and $20 \mathrm{krn}$, respectively. The minimum possible time, in minutes, required to reach the hypotenuse from A at a speed of $30 \mathrm{~km}$ per hour is

Let $D$ and $E$ be points on sides $A B$ and $A C$, respectively, of a triangle $A B C$, such that $A D: B D=2: 1$ and $A E: C E=2: 3$. If the area of the triangle $A D E$ is $8 \mathrm{ sq } \mathrm{cm}$, then the area of the triangle $ABC$ , in sq cm , is
